I just now realized that sf_decrunch exists, and since this is my first time compiling something to windows I was wondering if anyone had recommendations on a complier. I tried googling, but the sheer amount of results made me :shock: lmao.

I'm looking to revisit a star fox spoof hack I released a while back and redo a few graphical changes so I'll be able to release it here on the plaza, as well as going hog wild on some graphics I didn't get a chance to edit the first time around. :D
 
Why not use ultrastarfox? Its a version of the original source code we've made that makes modding a bit easier...

https://github.com/Sunlitspace542/ultrastarfox

It comes with argonaut's original compiler/linker and is an ez-build!

Oh hell, I didn't that existed either. Thanks for letting me know! I'll check it out. :D

Also in case someone stumbles across this thread looking for a compiler down the line, I found the Embarcadero fork of Dev-C++ easy to use. Link: https://github.com/Embarcadero/Dev-Cpp/

For Windows compiling with sf_decrunch, many recommend MinGW-w64 (GCC). It's widely used and has good compatibility. Another option is Visual Studio Community, which is free and powerful, though might have a steeper learning curve for simple tasks
